I feel Jet Jaguar could’ve been a slam dunk if it was handled by the SHF tokusatsu folks.
There was a lot of mismanagement here. The SHFSS line, the True Bone Carving "subline" if you will, has prices in this range. They scan the suits and actors, and they carve the skeletal structure of the figure first - rib cage, femur, clavicle, etc - and build off that. Each figure is from the ground up and they amalgamate different poses and angles into one product.
I had a full section on this but omitted it in the final video, this went on long enough and honestly I don't think anyone would care. If someone honestly believes "SHMA line is a different team so they don't know better" iunno what to tell them.
(note: of course I know that, I've been following this line since it started and have spoken to employees long before the people parroting and pushing that started collecting or have been tourists chasing clout. Bandai knows better.)
Maybe
Those 2.0 hips make ALL the difference
This is honestly the best review I’ve seen of this figure. People are just so blinded by collecting and not paying attention to the details that even though it may be the only figure they’ve made so far of a certain character, it doesn’t mean it’s the best or last chance to have it. I really think you hit the nail on the head with Tamashii’s business practices behind closed doors and clearly just putting out low effort figures that aren’t worth the money at all. This is such a simple figure to execute that it’s honestly astounding that they missed the mark completely. Your suggestions for the cuts on the figure are perfect and they emulate and replicate things that they’ve already done with Ultraman and Kamen Rider figures alike. This is just a case of Tamashii not wanting to lose money on the production costs of the product and just releasing an old design of a figure without any updates to the design or articulation. Just to make a quick buck. They have so many licenses that I honestly do not know how they even keep up and I understand Bandai is a large company but we’ve had so many misses with the SHF and SHM lines that it’s hard to ignore. The quality is questionable at this point and it makes me even anxious to even preorder some new figures from my favorite line which is dragonball. So yeah, it’s definitely a systemic issue if the different teams working on different lines aren’t learning anything from the clear success of other products they’ve released. You’re one of the best figure reviewers on this platform and it’s nice to actually hear constructive criticism and feedback that is completely on point. Tamashii is missing a lot lately and it’s just disappointing.
Dude you put "unboxing" in the title instead of review😭
Boy, I sure hope someone got fired over *that* blunder.
@@umjammerlammy9993mumkey jones?
Thats why I got confuesd I was like this a review not the unboxing😂
This is why I was confused and didn’t watched the video until later.
I didn't hit reuse without editing that, tf you talking about?
I rewatched Godzilla v.s Megalon a few nights ago and realized how cool JJ was, from a far I feel like this figure isn’t that bad
Yeah, from 30 feet away. The figure itself is still a low effort piece of trash, specially considering that this was supposed to be an "anniversary" figure and celebration of the character. How embarrassing
PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!
SHMA saw it was JJ anniversary and really gave him cake.
The indents on the silver look like stretch marks to me.
I was looking forward to this figure JJ is so cool, but this is a little bad, but seeing as it’s the only highly articulated figure… idk if I’ll pick it up.
after the gloriousness of godzilla ‘72 this feels like a bummer. hopefully there will be a remake in the future
JJ is an example of how to not make an articulated humanoid from the same company that made the 3.0 body for Super Saiyan Namek Goku. Hell, even the 2.0 body standard they have been doing for god knows how long now. Even if both lines cant share parts, MonsterArts has done their own take on 2.0 legs with Kong and Godzilla 72, so why abandon it on the figure that it can easily be done for? I pray for Skar King, he is shaping up to have the same joint system as JJ, but his shoulder joint shouldn't be as limited as JJ's due to the torso shape, but i'm ready to be corrected once it releases lol.
The Figuarts team is different from the Monsterarts team. JJ is from the Monsterarts team. Goku is from the Figuarts Team. Figuarts knows how to price their stuff and make good figures. Look at Eleking from the Figuarts line and compare him to any of the recent Monsterarts figures. Eleking blows them out of the water.
@@Leech-3 I get that, but that doesn't explain why figures like Godzilla 72 and GvK Kong have similar articulation cuts to SHFA's 2.0 style that should be on this figure but is mysteriously lacking. They have the ability to do it, they have done it before. When it comes down to the humanoid figure that it can easily be integrated into, they omit it. They omit ALL of features.
Yeah yeah, whatever, we've been around and around about "different teams" I've addressed that in the video. If the excuse is someone else did it so they made an inferior product then guess what lmfao
What did I say before product? Started with I and ends with nferior.
This is such sad treatment for one of my favorites. Shame Tamashii SHMA SHAME!!!!
What is wrong with you? He is based on the new Jet Jaguar suit from last year's Godzilla fest titled "Operation Jet Jaguar" not the old Jet Jaguar suit from 1973 and that's the reason why does he look like also there's some many complaining "why does his head looked like that?" "Why does Jet Jaguar have thicc thighs" even some other stuff and why can you just act smarter instead of acting dumber? don't hate on Japan just because of Sh Monsterarts Bandai and Tamashi Nations you racist!
This is why you're my favorite reviewer, Steven. What you're doing IS a review, not a figure showcase + fanboying. If there's a flaw, you point it out. If there's a room for improvement, you spill it out. If the credit is due, you credit them. My issue with the folks who disagree with you is that, they took too much into consideration what the companies had been through, or the inner issue, etc., instead of the customer's pov. That of which we, as the CUSTOMER, not employee, were never meant to know. If we never meant to know all the business decision, why must we took it into consideration when giving the verdict to the product. Tamashii won't care for your issues. Yes, Tamashii doesn't have it as easy as Hiya, but that's exactly why they need to innovate, to find a solution to a problem currently unforeseeable to be solved with the way things were ran thus far. Cuz hey, on the fripside, they won't care about your issues when you do want their figures. Oh, you just got into a car crash and need to pay lots of med bills, lost your job, your wife left with the kids, and now you want a bit of escapism by buying a figure of your childhood fav character, but could only pay 50% of our asking price? Get lost, pay me in full. Yea, they expect you to pay in full for what could be seen as half-baked. There are issues from A-Z, but when they won't care about your issues, since it meant to be kept behind your own closed doors, like their own issues, why should we care as well. It's also kinda funny if they said that Tamashii don't want your money, kinda arrogant and issa product, ofc they want customer's money. Oh yea, I forgot, we're just children who couldn't afford it, I'm sorry. Hey, not that we couldn't afford it, we don't want to.
I get that maaaaany had waited for JJ figure, so yes they'll able to look away from a lot of stuff that could be improved upon. But if the benchmark is ppl who are content with it, then the product would never grew. Granted you can't be too unreasonable with your demands, but brushing off everything that could be improved upon within the realm of possibilities, based on ppl are happy and content kinda led the brand into stagnation. I've seen arguments as to why JJ had few joint cuts unlike SHF, especially since issa straightforward design. But ofc I would argue that so does SHF Ultraman and the cuts are the best in the business. If you're happy that you finally got an articulated JJ, I'm happy for you. But you could still criticize what you love and see rooms for improvements. Especially when you branded your video or post as a review. It kinda reminds me of the Marques Brownlee situation, where him actually reviewing a product that is bad was seen as a wrong thing to do. While it is in fact the essence of review. I also kinda laugh when they called you having a messiah complex of "I buy it so you don't have to", but it is the logical consequences of being a reviewer. You don't only buy what you enjoy, but buy what others in your set field may be interested in. You gave your close to objective verdict so that ppl could make a decision to buy it or not. Instead of them buying first and then regretting it cuz of issues not mentioned in promos. This is truly a great review of JJ, if not in general. It's not a figure showcase, but is an actual review with verdict based on customer's pov and not giving you 1001 excuse why a company can't do what you want and how everything is ok the way it is. Keep it up, Steven
I read it. 👆
Nice novel
This why Steven is the goat, He a real one. Not some bootlicking, pathetic piece of sht fanboy, BLEGHHH
Not the showa standard?
Was going to get this to complete the collection of Godzilla, Gigan and the expected megalon at some point…but at least now I feel okay skipping this…for now
Idk how much SHMA and SHFA have to do with each other…but JJ seems easy when you’re pumping out Ultraman.
Also, is someone going to do Zone Fighter?
Yes, and they did a renewal, too
ruclips.net/video/XC0lR6Nd1q8/видео.html
@@StevensToyReviews the renewal any better than the one you reviewed?
@@vortecmacs from what I heard, yes, but I didn't get it.
Oh, boy JJ and Tamashii Nations got verbal smackdown to oblivion here, but it was given. Now, like I said before and I'll say it again like the proverbial broken record that I am despite the flaws, the limitations and etc I can't wait to get him. Still thanks STR for the pointing out the issues of this figure.
Appreciate it
And I felt I was nice 💀
@@StevensToyReviews You're welcome and yeah you were brutally honest.
Come on Bandai! I was really excited for this one...

There's nothing wrong with this figure and by the way the SHMA Jet Jaguar figure is based on last year's Godzilla fest titled "Operation Jet Jaguar" and that's the reason why does he look stylistic is because he is based on the new Jet Jaguar suit back in 2023!
@@user-ey7gq9pt8j🤦
@@user-ey7gq9pt8jJet Jaguar didn't look like a femboy in that movie.
@@RedSkull-hn2zi it's a short flim not a full length hour long movie
@@user-ey7gq9pt8j My mistake.But my point still stands.
Been Waiting for a review for this guy
Great review. I was legit shocked at the limited articulation on this toy. Especially for a figure released in current year. They really should just end the monsterarts line if each figure is going to be a mess with bad QC.
I'm only getting this figure because i need an articulated Jet Jaguar 1973 for some photography to go with the SHMA Godzilla 1972
Jet Jaugar, the S.H.Figuarts that’s actually a S.H.MonsterArts
Nice tips what should be done, Steven 🙂.
Random but I want to see SSJ4 Gogeta, Super Baby 2 and Omega Shenron get SH Figuarts cuz imma cop those on release. I got SSJ4 Vegeta recently and I have Super 17 pre ordered. Imma get SSJ4 Goku at some point
Controversial hot take: i would super glue tighten jet's limbs to fully make the figure solid
then super glue his head stuck on the neck along with the black eyes (cuz i like the blue eyes on singular point jj)
Er well for one, super glue should only be a last resort if you can't tighten the joint after all other methods. The second is there's no reason here, nothing's loose.
Now I'm curious about how the S.H.Figuarts Gridman figure will turn out?
Luckily the SHF team is different from the SHMA team. They have different designers and people who know how to price their stuff, etc. and it really shows
@@linkimusprimeproductions7890It’s Crazy how Good Eleking is being from SH Figuarts comparing him to literally any other Monsterarts lol
@@linkimusprimeproductions7890 See not entirely: the sculptors DO have bleed over from different properties all the time. Costs are also the bean counters' responsibility ~
The SHFSS Gridman should be JUUUUST fine. It's in the higher end of SHF, true bone carving, so it'll be the tits
@@StevensToyReviews yeah SHF tents to do great stuff. I recently got their KN.8 figure, and it's currently my favorite SHF to date
Glad I passed on this lol
I must be blind I dont see any "inaccuracies" the figure looks pretty spot on....
I really covered them and even have a picture of the suit in the video.
@@StevensToyReviewsoh yeah 100% the problem with comparing him to goku in terms of using newer sculpting techniques is that JJ never moved or has moved like goku. One can argue he doesn’t need all that RANGE of movement and musculature But if only that translated to the price tag and other design decisions like the soft rubber. You were 100% right where you said we can both meet and agree it could be better but I won’t call it HORRIBLY inaccurate?
classic shm QC they cooked with yu gi oh and showa goji but immedietly fumbling them on next release
Definitely not the figure it could’ve been.
Can you do an unboxing of the sh figuarts kaiju no 8, please?
Shouldve been in the SHF line like Ultraman was.
PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!! PUNCH PUNCH!!
Just from the promo picture of him doing the kick I knew he was going to be really lack luster in the articulation department
Dear Steven toy reviews
Godzilla for the ps4 and ps3 used Sh monsterarts as modeling tools for the kaiju in the game. So Essentially it predicted Mechagodzilla 1974, Jet jaguar, and hedorah
So shiny.
If this came out around the time the line started over 10 years ago, it would've been a hit. Now? I'd rather SRC came back from the dead and did JJ instead. Classic case of could've been soo much better. And I'm not even talking about the looks - The 2.0 SHF Ultraman figures curb stomp this thing.
I honestly don't understand why people r complaining about shma jet jaguar...he still looks like himself even with them THICC thighs... shma has never been 100% accurate since the very beginning, just accurate enough.. I'd say that this is one of the decent looking shma I've seen...when it comes to the articulation.. yeah I agree with that
It really is bizarre how everything is black and white down here. People don't really seem to listen to your points and the figure is either a 0/10 or a 10/10.
I never knew about them holding on to figures, that's a very interesting decision on their part. It's a shame things could have been better, but I'm not sure how this is a problem that can be fixed in the future. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like the only way things change is if you don't buy stuff. I'd rather get something than nothing and in this case the alternative is nothing (no other articulated JJ figures). Even if there was I hate switching lines for one offs but maybe that is just a me problem.
A 7/10 still works so it'll have to do. If it's not worth MSRP then it won't be worth the aftermarket prices in the future. I'll take the smaller loss today rather than the bigger loss tomorrow.
I think your username has to do with it tbh
Hi
I’m afraid they’ll do titanosaurus and half ass it. That’ll be 129.99 please thank you.
delicious cake indeed
SHMA should be ashamed at this point. After Gamera dropped everything has felt abysmal.
Steven just listen to me Jet Jaguar's design is based on last year's Godzilla fest "Operation Jet Jaguar" and could you understand?
Nice 😎👉👉
That's not an excuse.That's a flaw.
@@RedSkull-hn2zi it's not tho, it's literally 1973. OP here is trolling.
@@StevensToyReviews I know
I’m going to say this. The Sh Monsterarts Gigan 2004 figure wasn’t 100% accurate to the actual suit but people still liked the figure. I actually don’t know why people don’t like this Jet Jaguar figure, maybe it’s because Gigan was an older figure and people just excused it and Jet Jaguar is a newer figure?
Nope, people voiced opinions on it. Then-Bluefin even commented it was a prototype and might have changed, and it didn't. Further it was made by the designer who based it closer to his own original concept, but at the time it was a wild contrast to the accuracy we had.
Gigan's articulation and engineering was great. It is fun to mess with. JJ seems a few steps back from that
Oversized hips, the entire color scheme is completely off, and the sculpt for the head looks really weird.
They basically just gave JJ the Mechagodzilla 1974 treatment. What a shame.
Because he is based on the new Jet Jaguar suit from last year's Godzilla fest titled "Operation Jet Jaguar" not the old Jet Jaguar suit from Godzilla vs Megalon (1973) have you ever seen it on RUclips? and don't hate on SHMA and Japan just for this and this isn't a bad release you are being over exagurated like a 5 year old kid!
@@user-ey7gq9pt8jGoddamn, THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE.THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWA JET JAGUAR.THIS FIGURE BEING BASED ON THE NEW SUIT IS A FLAW.
@@RedSkull-hn2zi WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S A FLAW?!
@@user-ey7gq9pt8j This is supposed to be showa Jet Jaguar.He's not supposed to have a design from a completely different film/short film.That's like saying you're selling a showa gigan figure,but instead give him his FW design.
@@user-ey7gq9pt8jI’ve seen the short film, and this is not based on that suit. It’s intended to be the 1973 suit.
I’m so disappointed by this figure. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised but this video highlighted all my concerns regarding JJ. If the figure is a product from the past, it shouldn’t have the price tag of a modern figure. The only reason we’re getting this absurd MSRP is because Tamashii Nations can say “buy it or miss out”. It’s completely FOMO. I’d rather have had this figure get redone/resculpted and pay more to have superior articulation and sculpt rather than pay $90 for a figure that really should’ve been $60 at most.
Damn huge let down
Glad I'm good with my Singular Point JJ. I just really dont like the look of this figure
Unboxing? Don't you mean review?
